Just as war is too important to leave in the hands of generals, global climate is too important to leave solely in the hands of politicians who are being pulled in a million directions. This pithy yet compelling book makes abundantly clear what

we know and don’t know about global warming; why those uncertainties merit prudent but urgent action; how those actions, both at home and abroad, may amount to the most difficult political transaction in the history of mankind; and why “politics as usual”—both in the U.S. and in global negotiations—simply will not get the job done.

In a fast-paced narrative that is both a history lesson and an analytical argument, William Antholis and Strobe Talbott bring the reader through a quarter decade of global negotiations on climate change, clearly illustrating the economic fears and political constituencies that shape such discussions. Their behind-the-scenes coverage includes Barack Obama’s spontaneous “drop by” meeting with the leaders of China, India, Brazil, and South Africa in Copenhagen, helping to break a logjam that nearly rendered the conference a disheartening waste of time.

Diplomatic and procedural changes are clearly needed. Climate change will not wait for incrementalist plodding or partisan knife fights. In the words of the authors,

“Those changes should entail, first and foremost, shifting from reliance on the cumbersome UN-led pursuit of a legally binding global treaty, which has been on slow forward for twenty years, to a less formal process by which the United States, the European Union, China, and India form the core of an expanding circle of countries that will develop their energy policies and regulate their emissions in an increasingly coordinated fashion.”

Moreover, a whole new mindset is needed. It is a matter of individual ethics as much as politics or economics. While we need to focus on what can immediately be accom-plished by public officials on the grand stage of diplomacy, we also must stay true to our long-term personal and ethical responsibilities to future generations. The world we leave to our children and their children is more than an abstraction—it is our legacy. And our responsibility.

“Strobe Talbott and Bill Antholis have made an admirable and important effort to move beyond the recent political rancor in Washington. They have a plan for leaders who want to be serious about energy and climate. Instead of starting from entrenched ideological base camps, they concentrate on identifying common goals . . . on which Republicans and Democrats alike can agree.” —Richard G. Lugar, U.S. Senator

William Antholis is managing director of the Brookings Institution, where he is also a senior fellow in Governance Studies. During Bill Clinton’s presidency, he was director of International Economic Affairs at the National Security Council and the National Economic Council. He also served as deputy director of the White House climate change policy team and was a negotiator on the U.S. team at Kyoto. Strobe Talbott is the president of Brookings and a veteran diplomat, having spent seven years as U.S. deputy secretary of state. Prior to his government service, he spent twenty years as a columnist and editor with Time magazine. His previous books include The Great Experiment (Simon & Schuster, 2008), Engaging India (Brookings, 2004), and The Russia Hand (Random House, 2002).

Brain Gain Rethinking U.S. Immigration Policy

Darrell M. West

This is the second title in a new series: Brookings FOCUS Books. It features concise, nontechnical, timely assessments of pressing policy issues, including recom-mendations for action, written for a broad audience.

Many of America’s greatest artists, chefs, investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders have come from abroad. Advances in atomic energy, information technology, international commerce, sports, arts, and culture are directly attributable to

talented immigrants. Indeed, America experiences a “brain gain” from in-migration, and therefore needs to maintain its openness to new arrivals to stay competitive and gain access to the special talents of other lands. Yet many Americans still don’t see it that way, despite pride in their own ethnic ancestries.

In Brain Gain, Darrell West addresses why immigration policy is so politically dif-ficult in the United States despite the substantial social, economic, intellectual, and cultural benefits it brings. The problem is largely one of vision. U.S. policy ought to recognize and reflect the tremendous benefits of bringing in new blood, yet public dis-course and political debates tend to emphasize the perceived downsides. Fear too often trumps optimism and reason.

Democracy is messy, with policy principles that are hard to reconcile. The seeming irrationality of U.S. immigration policy arises from a variety of thorny and inter-related factors: particularistic politics and fragmented institutions, concern regarding educational and employment opportunities, anger over taxes and social services, and ambivalence about national identity, culture, and language. Add to that stew a myopic press, persistent fears of terrorism, and the difficulties of implementing border enforce-ment and legal justice. No wonder we can’t see the forest for the trees.

West argues for a series of reforms to U.S. immigration policy, including the following:• Improve legal justice• Take border security more seriously • Tighten employment verification • Depoliticize political conflict through an independent commission • Tie immigration levels to national economic cycles• Take stronger steps to integrate new immigrants into American life

These reforms will put America on a better course for the future and enhance our long-term social and economic prosperity. Reconceptualizing immigration will help us find the next Sergey Brin, the next Vartan Gregorian, or even the next Albert Einstein.

Leading Change in a Web 2.1 WorldHow ChangeCasting Builds Trust, Creates Understanding,

and Accelerates Organizational ChangeJackson Nickerson

Recent advances in Web 2.0 technology enable new leadership processes and techniques to create great value for organizations. In this important new book, management expert Jackson Nickerson proposes

a combination of processes and techniques utilizing Web 2.0 technology, which he refers to as Web 2.1, that will not only lead and direct change in an organization but actually accelerate it. He calls these processes and techniques “ChangeCasting.”

Leading Change in a Web 2.1 World provides new insights into why people and organizations are so difficult to engage in change. It explains how web-based video communications, when used in accordance with ChangeCasting’s specific process and techniques, is a keyway to building trust and creating understanding in an organization, thereby unlocking and accelerating organizational change.

Nickerson tells the stories of two Fortune 1000 firms facing dire economic and competitive circumstances. The CEOs of these two firms attempted extensive organizational change using web-based video communications. One CEO used ChangeCasting while the other CEO disregarded it. Nickerson traces the economic consequences of their two approaches to leading change. He also discusses how ChangeCasting was used so successfully in 2008 by President Obama’s campaign. His insights will be invaluable to business executives, public officials, students of management and organizations, and anyone who needs to take organizational change in the 21st century from the drawing board to successful implementation and replication.

The Perils of Proximity China-Japan Security Relations

While the entire world watches China grow its economy and build up its military, its regional neighbors are keeping an especially keen eye on developments in Beijing. The rivalry between Japan and

China has a long and sometimes brutal history, and they continue to eye each other warily as the balance of power tips toward the Middle Kingdom. They cooperate and compete at the same time, but if competition deteriorates into military conflict, the entire world has much to lose. The Perils of Proximity evaluates the chances of armed conflict between China and Japan, presenting in stark relief the dangers it would pose and revealing the steps that could head off such a disastrous turn of events.

Richard Bush’s piercing analysis of Asian security relations focuses on the problematic East China Sea region. Although Japan’s military capabilities are more considerable than some in the West realize, its defense budget has remained basically flat in recent years. On the other side of the water, how-ever, China’s military expenditures have grown by double digits annually. More worrisome is that the emphasis of China’s military modernization is on power projection—the ability of its air and naval forces to stretch their reach to the east, encroaching on its island neighbor.

The Japanese regard the growth of Chinese power and its focus on the East China Sea with deep anxiety. How should they respond? The balance of power is changing, and Japan must account for that uncomfortable fact in crafting its strategy. It is incumbent on China, Japan, and the United States to take steps to reduce the odds of clash and conflict in the East China Sea, and veteran Asia watcher Bush presents recommendations to that end. The steps he suggests won’t be easy, and effective political leadership will be absolutely critical. If implemented fully and correctly, however, they have the potential to reduce the perils of proximity in Asia.

Counsel for the SituationShaping the Law to Realize America’s Promise

William T. Coleman Jr., with Donald T. Bliss

Foreword by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer

“Bill Coleman’s story is one that younger generations should mark and inwardly digest, lest they forget the pioneers who helped to make a better America possible. That story also shows us something important about the legal profession, helping us understand how in the mid-twentieth century an individual could become, at one and the same time, a great lawyer, a wise statesman, and a leader in the fight for equal rights.”—From the foreword by Justice Stephen Breyer

Bill Coleman has spent a lifetime opening doors and breaking down barriers. He has been an eyewitness to history; moreover, he has made history. This is his inspiring story, in his own words.

Americans of color faced daunting barriers in the 1940s. Despite graduating first in his class at Harvard Law and clerking for Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, Coleman was shut out of major East Coast law firms. But as he writes, “The times, they were a’changing.” He not only benefitted from that change—he helped propel it, by way of dogged determination, undeniable intellect, and stellar accomplishment.

• Coleman was the first American of color to clerk for the Supreme Court. • He was the first American of color to join a major American law firm.• He served as senior counsel to the Warren Commission, investigating the

assassination of John F. Kennedy.• His legal work with Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP Legal Defense

Fund helped produce the historic 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

• In 1975, he was appointed Secretary of Transportation by President Ford.• In 1995, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by

President Clinton.

At his professional core, Bill is a lawyer—fiercely proud of the legal profession’s responsibilities in a democratic society and free economy and grateful for the oppor-tunities it has afforded him in the court room, the board room, and the corridors of power. It is through this prism that he relates his own story—his life and the law.

Coleman strives to be what Louis Brandeis described as a “counsel for the situ-ation”— an advocate able to take on major matters in a variety of legal disciplines while upholding the highest traditions of justice and the public interest. The results speak for themselves, and in this immensely entertaining chronicle, the Counsel for the Situation speaks for himself.

William T. Coleman Jr. is a senior partner and the senior counselor in the Washington office of O’Melveny and Myers LLP, one of the world’s foremost law firms. He joined the firm after serving as the U.S. secretary of transportation. Donald T. Bliss has had a long career in government and the law, having chaired the Transportation Practice Group of O’Melveny & Myers LLP. Stephen G. Breyer is an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and the author of Active Liberty: Interpreting Our Democratic Constitution (Knopf, 2005).

Detention and DenialThe Case for Candor after Guantánamo

Benjamin Wittes

Barack Obama and John McCain agreed on very little during the 2008 presidential campaign, but both promised to shut down the detention center at Guantánamo Bay. Nearly two years later, “Gitmo” is still open,

and it is unclear if and when that might change and what it actually means in the long run. Many Americans choose to remain blissfully ignorant about how their nation prosecutes the War on Terror, and public officials are happy to oblige them. But whether they realize it or not, the U.S. continues to detain individuals it deems enemy combatants.

Benjamin Wittes pulls back the curtain of silence to discuss what the U.S. and its allies currently are doing in the way of detention, and what they ought to be doing. Current policy is incoherent and muddled, sending mixed and confused signals. While that is perhaps understandable, given public ambivalence about detention, this is ineffective and counterproductive. Out of sight means out of mind to many people, but pretending a problem no longer exists does not make it so. Just because someone is not detained at Guantánamo doesn’t mean that person won’t be detained elsewhere, by either U.S. forces or its proxies.

Detention is an easy target for eager-to-please politicians and indignant commentators. But the issue truly is complex. Many detainees cannot simply be allowed to walk away. And things are not always as they seem. While reduced detention may assuage some angst, it might mean that potential detainees are being killed at a higher rate. Does that really ease worries about America’s moral compass?

Wittes issues a persuasive call for greater coherence, clarity, and candor in detention policy and practices. He lays out some of the problems that could result from the current state of obfuscation. For example, captured al Qaeda fighters can be detained by friendly “host governments” such as the Karzai regime. But if another front opens on the War on Terror, in a country such as Somalia or Yemen, the U.S. may need to detain its own prisoners. But it will find itself painted into a corner by the public assumption that “we don’t oper-ate that way.” Far better to be frank and direct about the dangers we face and how to deal with them.

Benjamin Wittes is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He is the editor of Legislating the War on Terror: An Agenda for Reform (Brookings, 2009) and the author of Law and the Long War: The Future of Justice in the Age of Terror (Penguin, 2008), Confirmation Wars: Preserving Independent Courts in Angry Times (Rowman and Littlefield, 2006), and Starr: A Reassessment (Yale, 2002). Between 1997 and 2006, he served as an editorial writer for the Washington Post specializing in legal affairs. His writing has also appeared in a wide range of journals and magazines.

A Skeptic’s Case for Nuclear DisarmamentMichael E. O’Hanlon

Is it realistic or even wise to envision a world without nuclear weapons? More and more people seem to think so. Barack Obama is himself on board, having declared “America’s commitment to seek the peace and

security of a world without nuclear weapons.” But that is easier said than done. Michael O’Hanlon puts his own indelible stamp on this critical issue in A Skeptic’s Case for Nuclear Disarmament.

Calls to “ban the bomb” are as old as the bomb itself, but the pace and organization have picked up greatly recently. The growing Global Zero move-ment, for example, wants to rid the world of nuclear weapons by 2030, with treaty negotiations to begin in 2019.

Would this be prudent or even feasible in a world that remains dangerous, divided, and unpredictable? After all, America’s nuclear arsenal has been its military trump card since World War II. Pursuing zero prematurely or carelessly could alarm allies, leading them to consider building their own weapons—the opposite of the intended effect.

O’Hanlon endorses nuclear disarmament, but with conditions. He clearly presents the dangers of nuclear weapons and the advantages of disarmament as a goal. He believes that even once an accord is in place, however, temporary suspension of restrictions may be necessary in response to urgent threats such as nuclear “cheating” or discovery of an advanced biological weapons program.

“Even once we eliminate nuclear weapons, we will have to accept the fact that we may not have done so forever.” The genie is out of the bottle, so to take all nuclear options off the table forever strengthens the hand of those that either do not make that pledge or do not honor it. But dismantling existing bomb inventories, in recognition of their dangerous and destabilizing potential, should become our goal, as President Obama has rightly emphasized.

Michael E. O’Hanlon is a senior fellow and the director of research in Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution, where he holds the Sydney Stein Jr. Chair. He is the author of numerous books, including Toughing It Out in Afghanistan, with Hassina Sherjan (Brookings, 2010), The Science of War (Princeton University Press, 2009), and Hard Power: The New Politics of National Security, with Kurt Campbell (Basic Books, 2006). He is also senior author of the Brookings Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan indexes.

Behavioral economics—the integration of psychology and economics—has demonstrated a tremendous promise for informing economic policy in recent years. On topics ranging from retirement savings to college financial

aid to prescription drug benefits, findings suggest that psychological forces such as procrastination and confusion underlie many policy challenges and influence important policy outcomes. These results have generated a demand for the further application and extension of behavioral insights, even as they have upended the standard economic analysis of government policy.

In Policy and Choice, economists William Congdon, Jeffrey Kling, and Sendhil Mullainathan argue that public finance—the study of the government’s role in the economy—can incorporate many lessons of behavioral economics and should serve as a framework for applying insights from psychology to questions of economic policy. The authors develop their own approach for thinking about the implica-tions of behavioral economics for public finance. They illustrate how behavioral economics alters our thinking and changes our understanding, sometimes dramati-cally, of the most basic levers of traditional public finance.

The result is a fully behavioral public finance, an integration of psychology and the economics of the public sector that is explicit, systematic, and rigorous. The authors demonstrate how this framework applies to the standard set of topics in public finance, including externalities and public goods, asymmetries of informa-tion, poverty and inequality, and taxation and revenue. Their conclusions have direct implications for policy and point to promising directions for future research.

The economic crisis has led many older Americans to put their dreams of retirement on hold. As home prices and equity plunged, along with the value of 401(k) accounts, media reports highlighted the plight of would-be retirees

forced to stay on the job. But as labor economists Courtney Coile and Phillip Levine show in Reconsidering Retirement, this focus paints an incomplete and misleading picture of the recession’s impact on older workers.

In this important new book, Coile and Levine go beyond the headlines to explain how the economic crisis will affect retirement patterns and the well-being of older Americans. By looking separately at the stock, housing, and labor markets, the authors identify both the mechanisms behind changes in retirement behavior and their com-bined effect. As expected, they find that the decline in the stock market will lead some workers to delay retirement. However, lower home prices will have no effect on retire-ment decisions, while the weak labor market will cause other workers to withdraw from the labor force earlier than they might like.

Equally important, Reconsidering Retirement asks how the recession will affect different groups of workers. Will less-skilled workers fare worse than highly skilled or high-earning individuals? And what can and should policymakers do to aid those who are worst off?

Coile and Levine’s conclusions will surprise many readers. For example, they find that the net effect of the current crisis will be to increase the number of retirements, particularly among low-skilled workers who are laid off and unable to find work. Among older Americans, these involuntary early retirees—who may number close to 400,000—will suffer the most as a result of the economic downturn. Yet they have been largely overlooked by pundits and the public alike. Reconsidering Retirement argues persuasively for moving them to center stage.

Dragon in the TropicsHugo Chávez and the Political Economy of Revolution in VenezuelaJavier Corrales and Michael Penfold

Since he was first elected in 1999, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Frías has reshaped a frail but nonetheless pluralistic

democracy into a semi-authoritarian regime—an outcome achieved with spectacularly high oil income and widespread electoral support. This eye-opening book illuminates one of the most sweeping and unexpected political transformations in contemporary Latin America.

Based on more than fifteen years’ experience in researching and writing about Venezuela, Javier Corrales and Michael Penfold have crafted a comprehensive account of how the Chávez regime has revamped the nation, with a particular focus on its political transformation. Throughout, they take issue with conventional explanations. First, they argue persuasively that liberal democracy as an institution was not to blame for the rise of chavismo. Second, they assert that the nation’s economic ailments were not caused by neoliberalism. Instead they blame other factors, including a dependence on oil, which caused macroeconomic volatility; political party fragmentation, which triggered infighting; government mismanagement of the bank-ing crisis, which led to more centralization of power; and the Asian crisis of 1997, which devastated Venezuela’s economy at the same time that Chávez ran for president.

It is perhaps on the role of oil that the authors take greatest issue with prevailing opinion. They do not dispute that depen-dence on oil can generate political and economic distortions—the “resource curse” or “paradox of plenty” arguments—but they counter that oil alone fails to explain Chávez’s rise. Instead they single out a weak framework of checks and balances that allowed the executive branch to extract oil rents and distribute them to the populace. The real culprit behind Chávez’s success, they write, was the asymmetry of political power.

Javier Corrales is associate professor of political science at Amherst College. He is the author of Presidents Without Parties: The Politics of Economic Reform in Argentina and Venezuela in the 1990s (Penn State, 2002). Michael Penfold is associate professor of political economy at the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Administracion in Caracas, where he also serves as research dean. He was previously executive director at the Venezuelan Investment Council.

Myanmar / Burma External Interests and Internal ChallengesLex Rieffel

The nation of Myanmar—or Burma, the name still used in much of the West— is in the midst of a political succession

process centered on multiparty elections to be held toward the end of 2010. Approaching that critical event, this volume looks at the nation through the eyes of the country’s ASEAN partners, its superpower neighbors China and India, the United States, and its own people. It provides insights into the problem of national reconciliation, the strategic competition between China and India, the role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and the underperforming, resource-cursed economy.

Burma had the brightest prospects of any Southeast Asian nation after World War II but has since dropped to the bottom rungs of the world’s socioeconomic ladder and was labeled an “outpost of tyranny” by U.S. Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice in 2005. The current regime has ruled with an iron fist for several decades, pro-ducing an exodus of political and economic refugees. It came under intensified international scrutiny for repudiating the 1990 elections and suppressing Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. This important book was prompted by the change in U.S. policy toward Myanmar/Burma signaled very early in the Obama administration. Noting that fifteen years of sanctions had not had measurable impact, the administration adopted a new policy of “pragmatic engagement” that links the eventual removal of sanctions to implementation of greater freedom and respect for human rights.

Moving ForwardThe Future of Consumer Credit and Mortgage Finance Nicolas P. Retsinas and Eric S. Belsky, eds.

The recent collapse of the mortgage market revealed fractures in the credit market that have deep roots in the system’s

structure, conduct, and regulation. The time has come for a clear-eyed assessment of what happened and how the system should be strengthened and restructured. Such reform will have a profound and lasting impact on the capacity of Americans to use credit to build assets and finance consumption.

Moving Forward explores what caused the crisis and, more important, focuses on the path ahead. The challenge remains the same as ever: protect consumers, ensure fairness, and guaran-tee soundness of the financial system without stifling innovation and overly restricting access to credit and consumer choice. Nicolas Retsinas, Eric Belsky, and their colleagues aim to stimu-late debate based on analysis of the opportunities and challenges presented by the various components of global capital markets: financial engineering, risk assessment and management, special-ization of financial intermediation, and marketing methods. The contributors—leaders in business, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector—discuss new research and ideas about the future of credit markets, including how improvements might be shaped by industry leaders.

Last ExitPrivatization and Deregulation of the U.S. Transportation SystemClifford Winston

Although the Obama administration is trying to get the public excited about high-speed trains that travel over

300 mph, most travelers would gladly settle for roads with fewer potholes and flights that depart on time. Whether traveling for work or pleasure, most Americans are frustrated by a variety of problems with their transportation system and disillusioned by public officials who seem incapable or unwilling to enact policies that would improve their travel experiences. Vast economic inefficiencies and a lack of innovation are the legacy of a transportation policy still seeking to find the right balance of public and private provision.

In Last Exit, Brookings analyst Clifford Winston reminds us that transportation services and infrastructure in the United States were introduced by private firms and that the case for public takeover of private systems was weak. Accordingly, he assesses the case for privatizing and deregulating the system to greatly increase Americans’ satisfaction with how they and their goods move throughout the country.

Winston proposes timely experiments to demonstrate the benefits of privatization as the nation explores ways to relieve its budgetary pressures and to spur innovations that could increase economic growth. At the same time, such experiments may lead to a fundamental transformation of urban, intercity, and international travel.

Italy and the European UnionFederiga Bindi

Italy is a founding member of the European Community and considers itself one of the most enthusiastic members of the

European Union, and other nations look at her in the same way. It is curious, then, that there is no comprehensive study available of Italy’s role and relations vis-à-vis the EU. Federiga Bindi fills that void with Italy and the European Union, the first book in a new partnership between the Brookings Institution Press and the Italian National School of Public Administration, or SSPA (Scuola Superiore della Pubblica Amministrazione).

The book argues that the incomplete “Europeanization” of a country can affect its influence in EU policymaking and that the variables underlying the negotiating potential of EU member states are of a domestic nature. Hence, a “medium-sized power” such as Italy can effectively shape EU policies only when it pres-ents well-defined aims, credible actors, and consistent strategies. In analyzing the Italian case, the book considers the following variables and issues:

• Actors and procedures: How are national interests defined in Italy? Who are the relevant actors? What procedures are followed? How are national positions defended?

• Aims and strategies: What are Italy’s aims, interests, and objectives in EU policymaking? How much have these changed over the years with different governments? Are Italy’s EU policies coherent with one another?

• Impact: Is Italy a proactive or passive actor? Has Italy been successful in shaping EU policymaking?

Federiga Bindi is a nonresident senior fellow in Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution, where she is a scholar in the Center for the United States and Europe. A Jean Monnet Chair in European Political Integration and founding director of the European Centre of Excellence University of Rome Tor Vergata, Bindi is now director of international relations at the Italian National School of Public Administration (SSPA). Among her previous books is The Foreign Policy of the European Union: Assessing Europe’s Role in the World (Brookings, 2010).


China in 2020A New Type of SuperpowerHu Angang Foreword by John L. Thornton Introduction by Cheng Li

After three decades of unprecedented economic growth, China is now the

world’s largest exporter and third-largest economy. It has also become the world’s largest carbon emitter and second-largest consumer of energy. Extrapolating from these seismic changes, economist Hu Angang forecasts that by 2020 China will become a “mature, responsible, and attractive superpower” that will contribute, alongside the European Union, to the “end

of the unipolar era dominated by the United States.”The rapid pace and grand scale of China’s rise has produced a

heady brew of wonder and consternation in the West. Is China on track to become a superpower? What would that mean for the rest of the world? Hu answers these questions through analysis of three major dimensions of China’s rise: its overall economic and social development; advances in education, sci-ence, and technology (including alternative energy); and the likely complications posed by resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and climate change.

China in 2020 presents a native Chinese perspective on the challenges and opportunities the PRC will face as its global foot-print expands. Through a meticulous examination of China’s development trajectory, Hu explains how his nation, as the world’s largest emerging market, will impact global economic growth, foreign direct investment flows, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. He proposes a comprehensive strategic framework to guide the next stage of China’s rise, seeking to maximize the country’s positive impact on the world and mini-mize the negative externalities of its meteoric development.

Hu Angang, one of China’s most influential economists, is a professor of economics and director of the Center for China Studies at Tshingua University in Beijing. Cheng Li, a senior fellow and director of research in the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings, is editor of China’s Emerging Middle Class (Brookings, 2010). John L. Thornton is chairman of the board of trustees at the Brookings Institution and professor and director of global leadership at Tsinghua University.

Delivering Aid DifferentlyLessons from the FieldWolfgang Fengler and Homi Kharas, eds.

For many years after the Second World War, development assistance was built on a relatively stable system of aid from

rich countries to poor countries, delivered mainly through government institutions. The twenty-first century has seen this model supplanted by a new configuration in which new donors and nongovernmental organizations play increasingly important roles. But the entry of many new players into what is now a $200 billion “aid industry” demands fresh kinds of coordination to be truly effective. Delivering Aid Differently provides a valuable overview of aid programs today, focusing on what works and what still needs improvement.

Nearly every nation today is part of the “aid business,” either as a recipient or as a donor. To date, most analyses of aid effec-tiveness have been developed by scholars from donor countries. This volume differs substantially by providing assessments from recipient-nation authors who consider the impacts of aid in their own countries. The volume closes with studies that address more broadly the features of successful aid coordination tools. Looking toward the future, Delivering Aid Differently makes a convincing argument that differentiated delivery of aid, from a diverse group of donors, acting to change development dynamics—supported by shared networks of high-quality information on needs, aid inputs, and aid outcomes—can yield benefits of tens of billions of dollars a year by preventing waste while still providing fair and sustainable assistance.

Financial Market Regulation and Reforms in Emerging Markets Masahiro Kawai and Eswar Prasad, eds.

The global financial crisis that began in 2008 highlighted the need for

strengthening financial systems in emerging markets and in low-income developing economies. The contributors to this volume outline these and other pressing issues in this insightful book.

Emerging markets face particular chal-lenges in stabilizing their nascent financial systems in the face of shocks, both domes-tic and external, and financial reforms are

critical to these economies as they pursue programs of sustainable high growth. Low-income countries, where the breadth of formal financial systems is severely limited, pose even greater problems. At the moment, policymakers in emerging markets are struggling to learn from the crisis how they can refashion financial regula-tory structures, how they might best contend with multinational financial institutions, and how they can extend financial services to underserved segments of their populations.

Masahiro Kawai, Eswar Prasad, and their contributors offer a systematic overview of recent developments in—and the latest thinking about—regulatory frameworks in both advanced countries and emerging markets. At the same time, their contri-butions clearly point out the challenges to improving regulation, markets, and access in developing economies.

Topics include

• Rewriting Financial Sector Regulation

• Evaluating U.S. Plans for Financial Regulatory Reform

• Emerging Contours of Financial Regulation

• What Regulatory Policies Are Suitable for Emerging Markets

• Banking Supervision in Indonesia

• Containing a Systemic Crisis: Is There a Playbook?

• Financial Development: A Broader Perspective

• Financial Development in Emerging Markets: The Indian Experience

• Universalizing Complete Access to Finance

Power and ResponsibilityBuilding International Order in an Era of Transnational ThreatsBruce Jones, Carlos Pascual, and Stephen John Stedman

The twenty-first century will be defined by security threats unconstrained

by borders—from economic instability, climate change, and nuclear proliferation to conflict, poverty, terrorism, and disease. The greatest test of global leadership will be building partnerships and institutions for cooperation that can meet the challenge. Power and Responsibility describes how American leadership can rebuild international order to promote

global security and prosperity for today’s transnational world.

Praise for the hardcover edition of Power and Responsibility

“In this major new treatise on twenty-first-century global security, Jones, Pascual, and Stedman—all experienced policy thinkers—provide a conceptual framework and comprehensive agenda for U.S. foreign policy in a world of security interdependence. . . . This is one of the best efforts yet to provide a coherent synthesis of the security-interdependence worldview.”—Foreign Affairs

“What are the right kinds of institutions to order a globalized world, where transnational forces ‘that have stitched the world together can also tear it apart’? This question is addressed with notable range and sophistication in this collaborative work by three individuals with significant research and frontline experience in the area of global policymaking.”—Ethics and International Affairs

“By accepting that sovereignty incurs responsibilities and by strengthening international institutions, governments can create an international order in which all can be safe and thrive. This book makes a compelling argument for such an approach.” —Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of United Nations

Mass Atrocity CrimesPreventing Future OutragesRobert I. Rotberg, ed.

What can be done to combat genocide, ethnic cleansing, and

other crimes against humanity? Why aren’t current measures more effective? Is there hope for the future? These and other pressing questions surrounding human security are addressed head-on in this provocative and all-too-timely book.

Millions of people, particularly in Africa, face daily the prospect of death at the hands of state or state-linked forces.

Although officially both the United Nations and the African Union have adopted “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) prin-ciples, atrocities continue. The tenets of R2P, recently cited in a UN Outcomes Document, make it clear that states have a pri-mary responsibility to protect their citizens from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. When states cannot—or will not—protect their citizens, however, the international community must step into the breach.

Why have efforts to stop horrific state-sanctioned crimes seen only limited success, despite widespread support of R2P? As this enlightening volume explains and illustrates, converting a norm into effective preventive measures remains difficult. The contributors examine the legal framework to inhibit war crimes, use of the emerging R2P norm, the role of the International Criminal Court, and new technologically sophisticated methods to gather early warnings of likely atrocity outbreaks. Together they show how mass atrocities may be anticipated, how they may be prevented, and when necessary, how they may be prosecuted.

Outer SpaceWeapons, Diplomacy, and SecurityAlexei Arbatov and Vladimir Dvorkin, eds.

In this era of globalization, the world is facing a host of challenging security

problems—from the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to international terrorism to accelerating climate change to energy security—that cannot be resolved unilaterally, especially through the unilateral use of military force. One key issue that requires urgent global attention is literally “out of this world”: the military use of outer space.

This collection of essays by leading Russian experts analyzes the current military use of outer space. The book describes the space weapons programs of various countries. It details the history of negotiations to prevent, or at least control, the weaponization of space, including analyses of the political, mili-tary, technical, and legal problems facing negotiators trying to avoid a catastrophic new space race.

Alexei Arbatov is a senior scholar and chair of the Nonproliferation Program at the Carnegie Moscow Center and head of the Center for International Security at the Institute of International Economy and International Relations at the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Post-ImperiumRussia and Its NeighborsDmitri Trenin

The war in Georgia. Tensions with Ukraine and other nearby

countries. Moscow’s bid to consolidate its “zone of privileged interests” among the Commonwealth of Independent States. These volatile situations all raise questions about the nature of and prospects for Russia’s relations with its neighbors.

In this book, Carnegie scholar Dmitri Trenin argues that Moscow needs to drop the notion of creating an exclusive power center out of the post-Soviet space. Like other former European empires, Russia will need to reinvent itself as a global player and as part of a wider community.

Trenin’s vision of Russia is an open Euro-Pacific country that is savvy in its use of soft power and fully reconciled with its former borderlands and depen-dents. He acknowledges that this sce-nario may sound too optimistic but warns that the alternative is not a new version of the historic empire but instead is the ultimate marginalization of Russia.

Dmitri Trenin is director of the Carnegie Moscow Center. From 1993 to 1997, Trenin held posts as a senior research fellow at the NATO Defense College in Rome and a senior research fellow at the Institute of Europe in Moscow.

Lonely SuperpowerRussia’s Uneasy Relationship with the WestLilia Shevtsova

Adapted from the Russian edition, this book analyzes the dominant stereo-types and myths that formed during the Putin presidency and that continue to hamper our under-standing of Russia’s current situation.

Author Lilia Shevtsova explains the origins of such political clichés as

• Russia is not mature enough for democracy;

• Capitalism first, and democracy will follow;

• The humiliation of Russia by the West is the key cause of their soured relationship;

• Arms talks between Russia and the United States will help to reset the relationship.

Shevtsova argues that an anti-mythology campaign is needed to deepen the understanding of Russia both within the Russian Federation and in the West, as well as to help nations build better policies toward Russia.

Lilia Shevtsova co-chairs the Russian Domestic Politics and Political Institutions Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, dividing her time between the Carnegie office in Washington, D.C., and the Carnegie Moscow Center.

Between Religion and PoliticsNathan J. Brown and Amr Hamzawy

In recent decades, Islamist political movements in many Arab countries have strategically invested in a political process

that was stacked heavily against them. And, to the surprise of many, they have actually succeeded by gaining more seats in parliaments and demonstrating their position as the only opposition movements with a popular base.

Between Religion and Politics is a broad, cross-national study of Islamist parties in Arab parliamentary elections. The book focuses on those movements that have cast themselves, at least in part, as electorally oriented political parties. It probes the environment in which the movements operate, the check-ered relationship between Islamists and national rulers, the Islamists’ political platforms, and efforts to build alliances with other opposition groups. By examining the debates within the Islamists movements, Between Religion and Politics is able to assess the party leaders’ evaluations of their political experiences and their prospects for future participation.

Yemen on the BrinkChristopher Boucek and Marina Ottaway, eds.

Yemen is facing a unique confluence of crises. A civil war in the North, a secessionist movement in the South, and a

resurgence of al Qaeda are unfolding against the background of economic collapse, insufficient state capacity, and governance and corruption issues.

The security challenges are the most important in the short run, because economic and governance issues cannot be addressed without a minimum of stability. This volume brings together analyses of the critical problems that have dragged Yemen close to state failure. It provides an assessment of Yemen’s major security challenges by recognized experts, and it broadens the discussion of the tools available to the interna-tional community to pull Yemen back from the brink. Separate chapters examine the resurgence of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the complex relationship between al Qaeda and the Yemini tribes, the Southern secessionist movement, and the civil war in Saada.

Contents include• Yemen: Avoiding a Downward Spiral

• What Comes Next in Yemen? Al-Qaeda, the Tribes, and State-Building

• The Political Challenge of Yemen’s Southern Movement

• War in Saada: From Local Insurrection to National Challenge

• Instrumentalizing Grievances: Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

Building Trust in GovernmentInnovations in Governance Reform in AsiaTrends and Innovations in GovernanceG. Shabbir Cheema and Vesselin Popovski, eds.

The ability of governments and the global community to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, ensure

security, and promote adherence to basic standards of human rights depends on people’s trust in their government. One of the challenges in promoting that trust is engaging citizens, especially marginalized groups and the poor. Where governance processes are exclusionary and basic services are not accessible, intrastate conflicts and violence within the country can negatively impact national and global security and peace. Weak systems and processes of governance tend to erode trust in government. Within this context, the issue of how to build trust

in government and between socioeconomic actors has become an important issue in both developed and developing economies.

This book seeks to answer questions raised about how to strengthen trust in govern-ment within the Asia-Pacific region. Through analyses of trends within Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific Islands, and specific innovations and reforms at the country level, the contributors offer various perspectives on the causes of the decline in trust, on countries and institutions that have managed to maintain higher degrees of confidence, and on governance innovations and practices that have played an important role in strengthening trust once it has faltered.

Engaging Civil SocietyEmerging Trends in Democratic GovernanceTrends and Innovations in GovernanceG. Shabbir Cheema and Vesselin Popovski, eds.

The rapid pace of globalization has led to the increasing interdependence

of member states of the United Nations to achieve sustainable development objectives, including the eradication of extreme poverty, environmental protection, access to basic services and livelihoods, and the promotion of economic growth and opportunities. Policymakers, scholars, and development practitioners recognize the centrality of

effective governance at the local, national, and global levels to promote sustainable development. Along with governments and the private sector, civil society organizations (CSOs) are playing an expanded role in improving transparency, participation, access to services, and the rule of law.

This book looks at the changing roles of civil society in global and national governance. It identifies factors that influ-ence the effectiveness of civil society in promoting democratic governance. It asks: To what extent and how has the global civil society been influencing global governance and democratic change? What have been the patterns of growth of civil society in Asia and Africa, including the legal frameworks under which CSOs are established? How and with what effect has civil society been engaged in promoting democratic change and inclusive governance?

Cross-Border Governance in AsiaRegional Issues and MechanismsTrends and Innovations in GovernanceG. Shabbir Cheema, Christopher A. McNally, and Vesselin Popovski, eds.

Rapid globalization has led to increased flows of capital, services,

ideas, information, and people between countries. As such, problems and challenges that face one nation often have a rippling impact throughout the region and globally. The growing list of cross-border issues cannot be resolved by isolated policy action at the national or subnational levels. It is essential to forge strategic alliances at the regional level

that support the development of consolidated approaches for dialogue and action.

This book discusses regional governance mechanisms and insti-tutional arrangements to respond to emerging cross-border issues and trends in Asia and the Pacific, such as the movement of people including refugees and illegal migrants, regional trade integration for human development, effective and efficient water management, human trafficking, and health issues focus-ing on infectious disease surveillance and response.

While examining the impact of governance on these issues, the book considers these questions: What are the key cross-bor-der governance issues in Asia? What are the regional gover-nance mechanisms to cope with these issues? How effective are the regional mechanisms and national institutional capacities in responding to these issues? What factors contribute to the success or failure of the mechanisms for regional cooperation?

The Future of International Environmental LawDavid Leary and Balakrishna Pisupati, eds.

This book explores the future of international environmental law in

a world of ever worsening environmental crises. It examines the success stories and failures of international environmental law and argues that future responses to global environmental crises will be more about good environmental governance than just more treaties and laws. Environmental governance will need to accommodate the needs and aspirations

of peoples from developed and developing countries alike and will have to be based on decisions and actions by a vast range of actors and stakeholders—not just the nation-state that has traditionally dominated environmental diplomacy. This also suggests a need to be cognizant of the close links to other areas of international law, including human rights.

The book tackles the major environmental challenges of our times including climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution and overfishing of the oceans. It examines what we can learn from the implementation of existing international environmen-tal laws over the past few decades. It also considers a range of emerging issues such as the management of the environmental challenges faced by the Arctic, nanotechnology, biofuels, and synthetic genomics.

The Dark Side of GlobalizationJorge Heine and Ramesh Thakur, eds.

Seen by some as a desirable and irreversible engine of prosperity and

progress, globalization is resisted by others as the soft underbelly of a corporate imperialism that plunders and profiteers in the global marketplace. Globalization has brought many benefits, including the reduction of poverty in several countries. But it also has a dark side: the unleashing of negative forces as a result of the compression of time and space

made possible by modern technology. Examples include the transnational flows of terrorism, drug and human trafficking, organized crime, money laundering, and global pandemics.

How do these various expressions of “uncivil society” manifest themselves? How do they exploit the opportunities offered by globalization? How can governments, international organiza-tions, and civil society deal with the problem?

From arms trafficking in West Africa through armed insur-gencies in South Asia and the upsurge of jihad in the age of globalization, this book examines the challenges that the dark forces of globalization pose to the international system and the responses they have triggered. Written largely by authors from developing countries, the book’s goal is to help maximize the beneficial consequences of globalization while muting its baleful effects.

Jorge Heine is a distinguished fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and a CIGI Chair in International Governance cross-appointed to Wilfrid Laurier University. Ramesh Thakur is the inaugural director of the Balsillie School of International Affairs, a distinguished fellow at CIGI, and professor of political science at the University of Waterloo, Canada.

Traditional Knowledge in Policy and PracticeApproaches to Development and Human Well-BeingSuneetha M. Subramanian and Balakrishna Pisupati, eds.

Traditional knowledge (TK), the long-standing traditions and practices of

certain communities, has contributed immensely to shaping development and human well-being. Its influence spans a variety of sectors, including agriculture, health, education, and governance. However, TK is increasingly underrepresented or underutilized. And, while the applicability of TK to human and environmental welfare is well

recognized, collated information on how TK contributes to different sectors is not easily accessible.

This book focuses on the relevance of TK to key environ-ment- and development-related sectors. It discusses the current debates within each of these sectors and presents suggestions as to how TK can be effectively integrated with conventional sci-ence and policy. A valuable resource to researchers, academics, and policymakers, Traditional Knowledge in Policy and Practice provides a comprehensive overview of TK and its links and contributions to social, economic, environmental, ethical, and political issues.

“This collection, which comprises chapters by experts from a wide range of backgrounds, including traditional knowledge-holding communities, should leave policymakers in no doubt that protecting TK is not only vital for indigenous peoples but for the common future of all of humanity.”—Graham Dutfield, professor of international governance, School of Law, University of Leeds

Political Violence in South and Southeast AsiaCritical PerspectivesItty Abraham, Edward Newman, and Meredith L. Weiss, eds.

This volume explores the sources and manifestations of political violence in

South and Southeast Asia and the myriad roles that it plays in everyday life and as part of historical narrative. It considers and critiques the manner in which political violence is understood and constructed, and the common assumptions that prevail regarding the causes, victims, and perpetrators of this violence. By focusing on the social and political context of these

regions, the book presents a critical understanding of the nature of political violence and provides an alternative narrative to that found in mainstream analysis of terrorism.

Political Violence in South and Southeast Asia brings together political scientists and anthropologists with intimate knowledge of the politics and society of these regions, who present unique perspectives on topics including assassinations, riots, state vio-lence, the significance of geographic borders, external influences and intervention, and patterns of recruitment and rebellion.

Affirmative Action for the RichLegacy Preferences in College AdmissionsRichard D. Kahlenberg, ed.

The use of race-based affirmative action in higher education has given rise to hundreds of books and law review articles,

numerous court decisions, and several state initiatives to ban the practice. However, surprisingly little has been said or written or done to challenge a larger, longstanding “affirmative action” program that tends to benefit wealthy whites: legacy preferences for the children of alumni.

Affirmative Action for the Rich sketches the origins of legacy preferences, examines the philosophical issues they raise, outlines the extent of their use today, studies their impact on university fundraising, and reviews their implications for civil rights. In addition, the book outlines two new theories chal-lenging the legality of legacy preferences, examines how a judge might review those claims, and assesses public policy options for curtailing alumni preferences.

The book includes chapters by Michael Lind of the New America Foundation; Peter Schmidt of the Chronicle of Higher Education; former Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Golden; Chad Coffman of Winnemac Consulting, attorney Tara O’Neil, and student Brian Starr; John Brittain of the University of the District of Columbia Law School and attorney Eric Bloom; Carlton Larson of the University of California—Davis School of Law; attorneys Steve Shadowen and Sozi Tulante; Sixth Circuit Court Judge Boyce F. Martin Jr. and attorney Donya Khalili; and education writer Peter Sacks.

Rewarding StriversHelping Low-Income Students Succeed in CollegeRichard D. Kahlenberg, ed.

“Rewarding Strivers presents provocative research and analysis that provides a blueprint for the way forward.”—William R. Fitzsimmons, Dean of Admissions, Harvard University

“The terrible ‘secret’ of higher education in America is that too few students from poorer families have access to it. . . . Kahlenberg again gathers the best thinkers on how to challenge this status quo.”—Anthony Marx,

President, Amherst College

Today, higher education is a major force in promoting social mobility, yet colleges and universities seem more concerned

with prestige than finding ways to make higher learning more accessible. Rewarding Strivers outlines two high-profile models that colleges and universities can follow in making the American Dream a realistic one for all students.

Former New York Times education writer Edward B. Fiske (author of The Fiske Guide to Colleges) explores an exciting new effort to provide extra financial aid and academic support to low-income students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He finds that the “Carolina Covenant” has much to teach public and private universities across the country.

In order to benefit from financial aid and support, low-income students first must be admitted to college. In a chapter that is likely to prove highly controversial, Georgetown University’s Anthony Carnevale and Jeff Strohl articulate a coherent and concrete way for colleges and universities to provide a leg up to economically disadvantaged students in selective college admissions. The authors make an important contribution to the nation’s raging debate over affirmative action by calling on universities to expand preferences beyond race to also include socioeconomic status, and outlining how such a program could work in practice.

Kahlenberg is a senior fellow at The Century Foundation and the author of Tough Liberal: Albert Shanker and the Battles Over Schools, Unions, Race, and Democracy (Columbia University Press, 2007) and the editor of America’s Untapped Resource: Low-Income Students in Higher Education (The Century Foundation Press, 2004).

The Survival and the Success of LibertyA Democracy Agenda for U.S. Foreign PolicyMorton H. Halperin and Michael Hochman Fuchs

Over the course of the twentieth century, Americans came to

embrace the defense and promotion of rights and democracy as a vital mission of U.S. foreign policy. But this popular view shifted during the George W. Bush administration. Bush’s controversial crusade for democracy—one that came to be associated with unilateralism, invasion, alliance, expansion, and double standards—so tainted the notion of democracy

promotion that many in the foreign policy establishment exhorted President Obama to abandon the practice.

In this passionate and persuasive book, Morton Halperin and Michael Fuchs argue that abandoning the promotion of democ-racy would be a great mistake. Halperin and Fuchs present new and proactive ideas for how the United States can and should help countries that are on the path to democracy and how it may help peoples struggling to establish a democratic regime.

Advance praise for The Survival and the Success of Liberty

“Morton Halperin has been one of Washington’s smartest strategic thinkers and once again, in The Survival and the Success of Liberty, he shows us why. He illustrates a critical point: America benefits when more countries are democratic, and democracies should help each other not just to vote, but also to deliver what their people need.”— Madeleine K. Albright, 64th U.S. Secretary of State

“Fresh in its insights and yet deeply informed by history, this book provides a viable and progressive alternative to the hubris and hypocrisy that has undermined previous American approaches to democracy promotion.”— Larry Diamond, senior fellow, Hoover Institution and Freeman Spogli Institute, and director, Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, Stanford University

Morton H. Halperin was a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress when this book was completed and is now senior adviser to the Open Society Institute. He directed policy planning staffs at the Department of State, the National Security Council, and the Department of Defense for Presidents Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton. Michael Hochman Fuchs is on the Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. Department of State. Previously, he was co-director of The Century Foundation’s Project on Democracy and U.S. Foreign Policy.

The Greenspan CommissionWhat Really HappenedRobert M. Ball

The National Commission on Social Security Reform—better known as the

Greenspan Commission—is widely credited with having addressed the financing crisis the program faced in the 1980s. Today, the Greenspan Commission is cited routinely as a model for resolving divisive political challenges, most recently inspiring the appointment of a bipartisan commission to address the federal deficit. But did the Greenspan Commission really succeed—

or did one key member find a way to work around its failure?Robert M. Ball (1914–2008), who led the Social Security

Administration for decades and became Social Security’s chief advocate and defender, served as House Speaker Tip O’Neill’s representative on the Greenspan Commission. In this previ-ously unpublished account, excerpted from Bob Ball’s memoirs by his longtime editor Thomas N. Bethel, Ball describes the inner workings of the commission and what really happened. He reveals how the commission deadlocked and how, at the last minute, Ball and White House Chief of Staff James Baker pains-takingly negotiated compromises that their principals—Speaker O’Neill and President Reagan—could accept.

Ball wrote this account as a cautionary tale, warning: “To suggest that the Greenspan Commission provides a model for resolving questions . . . would be laughable if it were not so dangerous . . . . A commission is no substitute for principled commitment. Above all, we should not allow ourselves to fall into the trap of expecting miracles from another Greenspan Commission.”

Robert M. Ball joined the Social Security Board as a field assistant in 1939. He was staff director of the Social Security Advisory Council (1947–48) and served as commissioner of Social Security under Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. He is the founder of the National Academy of Social Insurance and the author of Insuring the Essentials: Bob Ball on Social Security (The Century Foundation Press, 2000) and Straight Talk about Social Security, with Thomas N. Bethel (The Century Foundation Press, 1998).

Keeping the Lights OnTowards Sustainable ElectricityWalt Patterson

Starting from the premise that we are making a mess of energy and this is endangering the planet, Walt Patterson describes how we could do much better. In Keeping the Lights On Patterson

outlines a different way to think about energy. He explains how we could go about improving energy security and services while reducing costs and vulnerability, globally and rapidly. The book discusses debates surrounding energy and power. It emphasizes that electricity is about infrastructure and that we have to stop treating it as a commodity.

“Combining extraordinary historical insight with the sharpest analysis of where we are now, Walt Patterson carves out the most applied and practical of ‘road maps’ as to where we need to go if we are to deliver a genuinely sustainable electricity system for the future.”—Jonathon Porritt CBE, chair, UK Sustainable Development Commission

Multi-Tier NATOThe Atlantic Alliance in the 21st CenturyTimo Noetzel and Tobias Bunde

Throughout the past sixty years NATO, the world’s most powerful military alliance, has been a remarkable

success story. Today, however, there appears to be a widening rift among the member countries as NATO struggles to redefine its purpose and strategic identity. Is NATO still primarily a transatlantic alliance for collective defense or has it become an organization of democratic states that acts wherever it deems necessary to assert its values and ideas of a liberal world order? As NATO increasingly struggles to reach consensus on a whole range of strategic issues, it appears to be on a path to disintegration and, ultimately, failure.

This book argues that NATO has developed into a fluid “multi-tier” alliance that is divided on many issues. Members generally fall into one of three tiers:

• The reformist tier wants NATO to play a global role and to act as a guardian of a liberal world order.

• The neo-traditionalist tier favors an alliance still focused on territorial defense in a traditional sense.

• The status quo tier is also skeptical about a globalized alliance but does not see the need to refocus on the European continent.

Based on an examination of national security strategies and policy statements of NATO state representatives, this book sheds light on the specific characteristics, security cultures, and strategic worldviews in each tier.

While the evolution of such a multi-tier alliance will not inevitably result in NATO’s demise, this manifestation of camps—if unmanaged—will continuously disrupt the organization’s strategic agility and weaken the prospects for collective action. Multi-Tier NATO finds that if NATO is to maintain strategic vitality, it needs to develop institutional mechanisms of “variable geometry”—that is, not every country needs to take part in every policy, but some can cooperate more closely within a common institutional framework.

moment” in order to capitalize on the urgency of acting now. They will also need to move to a new paradigm of the EU-U.S. relationship and NATO’s role within it—one that takes account of the fact that the West needs “the Rest” to deal with the most pressing issues of our time.

“An important contribution to the debate on how we can renew our transatlantic partnership for a new age. . . . This book lays out the challenges and choices we face. It deserves to be widely read.”—Javier Solana, high representative for the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy

“A timely contribution to the much-needed dialogue regarding transatlantic relations. Both sides need to understand each other better and this volume helps its readers understand the causes of discord and the key issues to be addressed.” —Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser to President Carter

Show Me the MoneyLeveraging Anti-Money Laundering Tools to Fight Corruption in NigeriaNuhu Ribadu

In this riveting account, Nuhu Ribadu tells the story of his time as the

creator and then executive chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nigeria’s financial crimes law enforcement agency. From 2003 to 2007, he oversaw the conviction of over 250 financial criminals and the recovery of more than $5 billion worth of stolen assets—and made powerful enemies in the process. Twice he survived attempts on his life, and he was eventually forced to exit the commission. Now he recounts how the commission used stepped-up global anti-money laundering efforts—spurred by the Financial Action Task Force blacklisting of Nigeria in 2001—to open the door to a courageous and unprecedented crusade against corruption.

Nuhu Ribadu is a visiting fellow at the Center for Global Development. A lawyer and career policeman, he was the head of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from 2003–07.


Due DiligenceWhat Social Investors Should Know about MicrofinanceDavid Roodman

The idea that small loans can help poor families build businesses and

exit poverty has blossomed into a global movement. The concept has captured the public imagination, drawn in billions of dollars, reached millions of customers, and garnered a Nobel Prize. Radical in its suggestion that the poor are creditworthy and conservative in its insistence on individual accountability, the idea has expanded beyond credit into savings, insurance, and money transfers, earning the name microfinance. But is it the boon so many think it is?

Readers of David Roodman’s open-book blog will immediately recognize his thorough, straightforward, and trenchant analysis. Due Diligence, written entirely in public with input from readers, probes the truth about microfinance to guide governments, foundations, investors, and private citizens who support financial services for poor people. In particular, it explains the need to deemphasize micro-credit in favor of other financial services for the poor.

David Roodman is a research fellow at the Center for Global Development. He has been architect and manager of the Commitment to Development Index since the project’s inception in 2002.


Emerging Africa How 17 Countries Are Leading the WaySteve Radelet

Emerging Africa describes the too-often-overlooked positive changes

that have taken place in much of Africa since the mid-1990s. In 17 countries, five fundamental and sustained breakthroughs are making old assumptions increasingly untenable:

• The rise of democracy brought on by the end of the Cold War and apartheid

• Stronger economic management

• The end of the debt crisis and a more constructive relationship with the international community

• The introduction of new technologies, especially mobile phones and the Internet

• The emergence of a new generation of leaders.

With these significant changes, the countries of emerging Africa seem poised to lead the continent out of the conflict, stagnation, and dictatorships of the past.

The countries discussed in the book are Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Ethiopia, Ghana, Lesotho, Mali, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, São Tomé and Principe, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

Steve Radelet is a former senior fellow at the Center for Global Development. He is currently senior adviser on development in the office of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Transatlantic 20/20The U.S. and Europe in an Interpolar WorldDaniel S. Hamilton

This volume examines fundamental societal, economic, political, and

security trends affecting the EU and the U.S. over the next decade. It posits what such trends could mean for the transatlantic partnership by 2020, and, using policy scenarios, recommends the choices likely to influence those patterns.

What will the rise of Asia and the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) mean for Europe and the United States? How might the consequences differ for the transatlantic partners, and what would that mean for the transatlantic partnership itself? What demographic trends will influence Europe and North America, how will the impact differ, and what effect could this have on the trans-atlantic partnership? How will trends in demographic change, trends in human mobility, and changes in energy sustain-ability affect each side of the Atlantic, how will these effects differ for each part-ner, and what might be the consequences for the partnership? These are the issues explored in this important study.

EU Land Markets and the Common Agricultural PolicyPavel Ciaian, d’Artis Kancs, and Johan F.M. Swinnen

Since 2005, the European Union has provided farmers with subsidies that are not linked directly to production of specific crops, through the single payment scheme (SPS), as part of

reforms to its common agricultural policy. This book investigates to what extent the SPS has led to the capitalization of support into land values in the EU.

Economic theory and empirical findings suggest that the way in which agricultural support is provided to farm-ers has an influence on land markets. Subsidies tend to become capitalized into land values to some degree, affecting both the sales and rental prices of land. These effects in turn have a bearing on the transfer efficiency of the support and structural change in agriculture.

Drawing from a combination of data sources, 11 country and 18 regional studies, this extensive empirical analysis offers preliminary findings of the reaction of EU land markets and asset values to the changes in EU policy.

Pavel Ciaian and d’Artis Kancs are research fellows with the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies, Seville, one of the seven scientific institutes of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. Johan F.M. Swinnen is senior research fellow at CEPS and professor of economics and director of the Centre for Institutions and Economic Performance at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

Quebec and the Heritage of Franco-AmericaIwan Morgan and Philip Davies, eds.

This book marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of

Quebec. It consists of six essays by a team of contributors drawn from Quebec, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. The book explores the concept of Franco-American heritage not as a modern remnant of a lost French North American empire but a thriving entity that grew in both vitality and geographical spread in the centuries after the British Conquest of 1759.

Two points are fundamental to the essays in the book:

• Franco-America’s heritage was neither French nor American but something different and unique from both.

• Its geographical extent spread far beyond its birthplace in Quebec province and penetrated into large parts of so-called Anglo-America—in other words, it was continental rather than provincial in nature.

Iwan Morgan is professor of United States studies and head of U.S. programs at the Institute for the Study of the Americas, School of Advanced Study, University of London. Philip Davies is professor of American studies at De Montfort University, Leicester, and director of the British Library’s Eccles Centre for American Studies.

World Crisis Effects on Social Security in Latin America and the CaribbeanLessons and PoliciesCarmelo Mesa-Lago

Written by a top scholar on social security in Latin America and the Caribbean, this book assesses the effects of the world economic crisis on social security and welfare in the region. Drawing

on the impact of and lessons from previous crises, Carmelo Mesa-Lago identifies the strengths and weakness of Latin American social security before the current global crisis. He evaluates the event’s actual and potential effects on pensions, health care, and social assistance programs, based on a taxonomy of three groups of countries.

The book ends with a summary of poli-cies adopted by some countries and the author’s own recommendations on social policies to lessen the adverse outcomes of the financial crisis. Latin America’s pio-neering social-welfare reforms make this book important for other regions of the world, both developed and developing.

Carmelo Mesa-Lago is Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Economics and Latin American Studies at the University of Pittsburgh and has been a visiting profes-sor or researcher in seven countries and a lecturer in 39 nations. He is the author of 78 books and 270 articles/chapters published in seven languages in 33 countries.

Overcoming Too-Big-To-FailA Regulatory Framework to Limit Moral Hazard and Free Riding in the Financial SectorJacopo Carmassi, Elisabetta Luchetti, and Stefano Micossi, with Daniel Gros and Karel Lannoo

Following the demise of Lehman Brothers, the debate on regulatory reform has centered around whether large financial institutions must be broken up and their risk-taking

activities limited by law, as called for by the “Volcker rule.” This report argues that such actions are by no means necessary, may be hard to implement in practice, and could entail large costs in terms of the availability of credit to the economy (e.g., if they reduced the ability of banks to hedge their credit positions).

Alternative solutions exist that can achieve a more stable and resilient financial system without renouncing the benefits of multi-purpose financial insti-tutions and innovative finance. These are predicated on effectively curtailing moral hazard and strengthening market discipline on banks’ shareholders and managers by raising the cost of the bank-ing charter to reflect fully its benefits for the banks, and on restoring the possibil-ity that all or at least most financial insti-tutions could go bust without triggering unmanageable systemic repercussions.

This report was prepared by a joint CEPS-Assonime Task Force. The three main authors are from Assonime, the Association of Joint Stock Companies incorporated in Italy: Stefano Micossi, director general; Elisabetta Luchetti, legal expert; and Jacopo Carmassi, economist. CEPS director Daniel Gros and chief executive Karel Lannoo provided additional substan-tial contributions.

Into EurAsiaMonitoring the EU’s Central Asia StrategyMichael Emerson and Jos Boonstra, with Nafisa Hasanova, Marlène Laruelle, and Sébastien Peyrouse

The EU introduced its Strategy for Central Asia in 2007 to upgrade its cooperation with the five states of the region: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,

and Uzbekistan. Concerns over energy security and the war in Afghanistan dominated the political context at that time, but the strategy sought to take a broad and comprehensive approach, with priority actions addressing political dialogue, education, economic development, energy and transport links, human rights and the rule of law, drug trafficking, environmental sustainability, and water, among other concerns.

This book offers the first assessment of this ambitious plan, undertaken by inde-pendent analysts from the EU and Central Asia. The roles of Russia, China, the United States, Turkey, Iran, and other major players, as well as the current state of politics and economics in the region, are all analyzed through the prism of the EU strategy.

SomaliaA New Approach Bronwyn E. Bruton

Even among failed states, Somalia stands apart. A country of some nine million, it has lacked a central government since the fall of Mohamed Siad Barre’s regime in 1991. Poverty

and insecurity are endemic. Less than 40 percent of Somalis are literate and more than one in ten children die before turning five. The specter of Somalia as a sanctuary for al Qaeda has become an important concern, and piracy in the vital international shipping lanes off Somalia’s coast remains a menace.

In this report, Bronwyn E. Bruton proposes a strategy of “constructive disengagement” to combat terrorism and promote development and stabil-ity in Somalia. Instead of supporting Somalia’s unpopular Transitional Federal Government, Bruton argues that the United States should accept an Islamist authority as long as it does not impede international humanitarian activities or support international jihad. Bruton also advocates for a decentralized approach to U.S. foreign aid distribution by working with existing local authorities. And she counsels against an aggressive military response to piracy, making the case instead for initiatives to mobilize Somalis themselves against pirates.

Bronwyn E. Bruton is a democracy and governance specialist with extensive experience in Africa and was the 2008–09 international affairs fellow in residence at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Pakistan and Afghanistan are both of great strategic importance to the

United States and will continue to be significant national security priorities for the foreseeable future. From a U.S. perspective, they present several major security, diplomatic, and economic challenges. Both countries are critical to regional and international security and stability.

This report reviews and assesses current U.S. policy in the region, treating the challenges in Pakistan and Afghanistan as connected but also distinct. The task force offers recommen-dations on how to adapt U.S. policy to most effectively address both the short- and long-term challenges the United States faces in South Asia.

U.S. Policy on KoreaIndependent Task Force ReportCharles L. Pritchard and John H. Tilelli Jr., chairs Scott A. Snyder, project director

From its early days, the Obama administration has had to grapple with North Korea’s provocative missile and nuclear tests. During the past two decades, U.S. policy efforts to roll back North Korea’s

nuclear developments have met with frustration and failure. At the same time, South Korea’s economic development and political transition to democracy have changed the U.S. alliance with South Korea.

This report assesses U.S. policy toward both North and South Korea and crafts an integrated approach to the peninsula as a whole. It analyzes prospects for bilateral and multilateral diplomacy with North Korea, the stability of the North Korean regime, U.S. military and economic ties to South Korea, and the implications of internal changes in both Koreas for regional security in Asia. The report offers specific recommendations designed to reduce the threat posed by North Korea and offers a coherent and comprehensive approach to the peninsula as part of an overall strategy toward Asia.

Enhancing International Preventive Action Paul B. Stares and Micah Zenko

The United States can ill afford additional overseas military

commitments to manage the consequences of regional instability. Yet it must make a concerted effort to harness and enhance the efforts of international actors to reduce the risk of violent conflict and prevent new crises from arising.

Enhancing International Preventive Action acknowledges the UN efforts, international financial institutions, regional organizations, and informal multilateral groupings that are making important contributions to the preven-tion of violent conflict in areas crucial to U.S. interests. Much more should be done, however, to shape and support the work of these actors. Through their assessment of the advantages and short-comings of the principal international actors, Paul B. Stares and Micah Zenko recommend ways that the United States can help develop a more effective “global architecture for preventive action.” This report builds on an earlier study, Enhancing U.S. Preventive Action, that proposed concrete ways to improve the existing U.S. preventive framework. It precedes a third report that will examine the role of private sector actors.

U.S. Interests and UN Security Council ReformStewart M. Patrick and Kara C. McDonald

Advancing U.S. national interests depends increasingly on effective

multilateral action. President Barack Obama has stressed the need to update international institutions to permit the collective management of emerging transnational problems and the peaceful accommodation of rising powers. The United Nations Security Council, the world’s preeminent peace and security organ, should not be excluded from this vision to create a new global architecture of cooperation.

The United States must lay out a long-term roadmap for the modest expansion of the Security Council, based on criteria commensurate with the obligations of Council membership. Stewart M. Patrick and Kara C. McDonald believe that by adopting a conditions-based, evolutionary approach, the U.S. government can shift the terms of a stymied debate and position itself as a leader on Council reform. In addition, aspirant countries would have the opportunity to prove their readiness to accept the burdens and responsibilities of defending world order. This would avoid the considerable risks of immediate Council enlargement, while giving these states an incentive to increase their con-tributions to global security.

Stewart M. Patrick is senior fellow and director of the International Institutions and Global Governance program at the Council on Foreign Relations. Kara C. McDonald is a U.S. diplomat and international affairs fellow in residence at the Council on Foreign Relations.

From Rome to KampalaThe U.S. Approach to the 2010 International Criminal Court Review Conference Vijay PadmanabhanJohn B. Bellinger III and Matthew C. Waxman, project directors

The controversial relationship between the United States and the International Criminal Court (ICC) is at a crossroads. The ICC is the world’s first permanent court to prosecute

individuals who commit crimes of concern to the international community. After an initial period of hostility toward the ICC, the United States has in recent years pursued a policy of cautious engagement. This approach faced serious challenges at the 2010 ICC Seven-Year Review Conference, as ICC parties considered amending the Rome Statute, the ICC’s governing document, in ways that could run counter to U.S. interests.

In this report, Vijay Padmanabhan argues that the United States should dissuade ICC member states from making institutional changes that further complicate U.S. cooperation. He also recommends ways for the United States to strengthen its leadership role on inter-national criminal justice issues.

Vijay Padmanabhan is a visiting assistant professor of law at Yeshiva University’s Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.

Promoting Cybersecurity through Internet GovernanceRobert K. Knake

U.S. interests lie in the continuation of a single, open, globally

interconnected network for the free exchange of ideas and the conduct of economic activity. Criminals and rogue nations are threatening that paradigm, exploiting fundamental weaknesses in the architecture of the Internet.

Cybersecurity and homeland security expert Robert K. Knake urges the United States to promote its vision for a secure Internet through existing international forums. His report provides a clear statement of U.S. national interest in cyberspace and develops an agenda for promoting it within Internet gover-nance organizations.

Knake maintains that the U.S. Department of State must be staffed and funded to coordinate the promo-tion of this agenda across the federal government with important private sector players. He further recommends the development of a treaty to ban the targeting of civilian infrastructure in cyberspace and the application of diplo-matic and economic pressure to expand the number of countries that are party to the existing Convention on Cybercrime. By taking these steps, the United States can help develop both the technical and legal mechanisms to address security con-cerns in cyberspace while maintaining the vision of a unified, global Internet.

The Russian Economic Crisis Jeffrey Mankoff

Since mid-2008, Russia has endured an economic crisis so serious that it has emboldened many Russians, including President Dmitry Medvedev, to call for a fundamental overhaul of the

country’s resource-dependent, state-dominated economy. The proposed new model would favor innovation and integration into global institutions. Medvedev’s push for modernization has encountered stiff resistance from the bureaucratic-oligarchic elite that profits from the status quo. These domestic challenges mean that Russia has pursued a more restrained foreign policy, especially with its post-Soviet neighbors.

Russia’s economic crisis creates an opportunity for the United States and its allies to draw the nation further into the global economy. In The Russian Economic Crisis, Jeffrey Mankoff argues that the West should use the promise of foreign investment and access to international economic institutions like the World Trade Organization to nudge Russia into the role of responsible stakeholder. A similar policy should be adopted toward its neighbors to bolster them against the possibility of Russian intervention, which could derail economic reform and integration across the region.

Jeffrey Mankoff is associate director of international security studies at Yale University and adjunct fellow for Russia studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.


Assessing Deep Reductions in U.S. and Russian Nuclear WeaponsMicah Zenko

In 2009, presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev pledged to sign

a bilateral treaty to limit the nuclear arsenals of the United States and Russia to approximately 1,500 deployed nuclear weapons and 750 delivery systems. While this represents a significant reduction from cold war–era levels, the two countries still retain more than 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons. As good-faith progress toward President Obama’s stated commitment “to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons,” both countries need to begin negotiating a follow-up bilateral treaty to reduce their respective arsenals.

Micah Zenko offers specific recommen-dations for U.S. policy on four strategic and technical issues that such a treaty would raise:

• Beginning high-level discussions with U.S. allies on the tradeoffs between extended deterrence and deeper nuclear cuts

• Promoting the joint U.S.-Russia development of missile defense radars and interceptors

• Proposing transparency and confidence-building measures for deployed U.S. and Russian tactical nuclear weapons

• Developing a framework to account for deploying advanced conventional weapons on nuclear-capable delivery systems.

At a time of global nuclear uncertainty, this report defines a path to greater security and commitment to a nonnuclear world.

OECD Insights: Agriculture and FoodFeeding Nine Billion People

Global food production will have to double by 2050 in order to feed

the projected world population of nine billion people. Experience suggests it can be done, but the agriculture and food sector is facing a number of challenges. Economic growth is being accompanied by a shift to resource-intensive, Western-style diets worldwide. Farming has to cope with environmental pressures and competition for land from other uses, and climate change introduces new uncertainties.

This book argues that farming is resourceful and inventive enough to con-tinue providing the food the world needs. Science and technology are exploring new solutions to the physical challenges. Changes in policies and practices can encourage a shift toward sustainable means to produce and distribute enough food to satisfy demand without destroy-ing the planet’s resources.

OECD Insights: Agriculture and Food examines the state of world agriculture today and discusses the major forces shaping its future, including trade, the environment, government policy, and farming practices. It looks at how social change and economic conditions influ-ence how our food is produced, what we eat, and where we buy it. It also considers the question of food security and the links between poverty and hunger.

in the world economy is underway. Over the last twenty years, economic and political power have been shifting toward the developing world and emerging economies. Presenting evidence that documents the power shift, this report clarifies the new global reality and what it means for development.

A number of developing countries have become centers of strong growth and major players in regional or global affairs. Flows of trade, aid, and invest-ment between developing countries have all intensified. Old ways of viewing the world as divided between developed and developing countries are increasingly outdated. This demands a rethink of how to promote progress and reduce poverty and inequality.

The Global Development Outlook will help policymakers make informed deci-sions based on insightful analysis and accurate data and statistics that better reflect the dynamics of the new global economy. The book suggests ways in which developing countries can best take advantage of the new economic land-scape while avoiding potential pitfalls.

The Space Economy at a Glance 2010

Space applications have become an important part of everyday life.

Weather forecasting, air traffic control, global communications and broadcasting, disaster management, and many other key activities would be almost unthinkable today without satellite technology. The space industry itself is relatively small compared to other manufacturing sectors, but its technological dynamism and strategic significance mean that it plays an

ever more critical role in modern society. The Space Economy at a Glance 2010 paints a richly detailed

picture of the international space industry, its downstream services activities, and its wider economic and social impacts. The book answers key questions such as: Who are the main space-faring nations? How large are revenues and how much employment is there in the sector? How much R&D goes on, and where? What is the value of spin-offs from space spending?

OECD Information Technology Outlook 2010

Information technology (IT) and the Internet are major drivers of research,

innovation, growth, and social change. The 2010 edition of the OECD Information Technology Outlook analyzes the economic crisis and recovery and suggests that the outlook for IT goods and services industries is quite good. After weathering a very turbulent economic period it is, in fact, better than it was during the crisis at the beginning of the decade.

This book analyzes recent trends in OECD country informa-tion and communication technology policies (ICTs) to see if they are rising to the new challenges posed by the recovery. Priorities are now getting the economy moving, focusing on skills and employment, broadband diffusion, and R&D and ven-ture finance. There is also a major new emphasis on using ICTs to tackle environmental problems and climate change.

Highlights from Education at a Glance 2010

This book is based on the OECD’s annual compendium of education

statistics, Education at a Glance. It provides concise and easily accessible data on key topics in education today, including:

• Education levels and student numbers: How far have adults studied, and what access do young people have to education?

• Economic and social benefits of education: How does education affect people’s job prospects, and what is its impact on incomes?

• Paying for education: What share of public spending goes on education, and what is the role of private spending?

• The school environment: How many hours do teachers work, and how does class size vary?

Each indicator is presented on a two-page spread that explains its significance, discusses the main findings and key trends, and provides a roadmap for finding out more in the OECD education databases and in other OECD education publications. Highlights from Education at a Glance 2010 is an ideal introduction to the OECD’s unrivaled collection of internationally comparative data on education and learning.


OECD Economic SurveysUnited States 2010

OECD Economic Surveys are the OECD’s periodic reviews of member and selected nonmember economies. These reports

provide a solid analysis of developments in the subject country, special reports on topics of current interest, and extensive statistical information. They place an emphasis on comparing the situation in the subject country with those in the full OECD community.

This review of the United States includes an analysis of cur-rent economic conditions in the aftermath of the financial crisis and recession, along with special chapters on fiscal sustainability and climate change policy.


Fit not FatObesity and the Economics of Prevention

Obesity has risen to the top of the public health policy agenda in OECD countries. There is a popular perception

that explanations for the obesity epidemic are simple and solutions are within easy reach. When looking at the data in more detail, however, a more complicated picture emerges. Simply finding objective evidence on the phenomenon is a difficult task for policymakers, health professionals, and academics who are trying to understand the epidemic and devise strategies to counter it.

Fit not Fat aims to contribute to evidence-based policy making by examining multiple dimensions of the obesity problem. Answers to even the most basic questions economists would ask, such as the link between obesity and well-being or whether combating obesity is cost-effective, require inputs from a range of disciplines. The book analyzes the respective roles and influence of market forces and governments. It outlines an economic approach to the prevention of chronic diseases that provides additional insights relative to a more traditional public health approach.


Lobbyists, Governments and Public Trust, Volume 2 Promoting Integrity through Self-Regulation

This report looks at how the lobbying profession, using government- and

self-regulation, is attempting to reform its reputation for undue influence peddling. The report documents self-regulation steps taken by lobbying associations in Europe. It also draws on the most comprehensive survey to date of lobbyists’ attitudes toward self-regulation and regulation of their profession in Europe. It reviews the options for improving transparency

and accountability in lobbying and suggests ways in which government regulations and self-regulatory tools (codes of conduct, ethics training, enforcement mechanisms, registration) can be strengthened.

Going Private in ChinaThe Politics of Corporate Restructuring and System Reform in the PRCJean C. Oi, ed.

As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) set about reforming its

centrally planned economy, it faced the thorny policy question of how to reform its state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Should it support a shift from public to private ownership of the means of production? Such a shift would challenge not only the CCP’s socialist ideology but also its very legitimacy. Mixing the business of corporate restructuring with the politics of socialism presented nothing short of a policy nightmare.

With policy-relevant acuity, the contributors to this wide-ranging volume address the questions about reform programs that have plagued China—and East Asia more broadly—since the 1990s. While China, Japan, and South Korea have all been criticized for implement-ing reform too slowly or too selectively, this volume delves into the broader contexts underlying certain institutional decisions. The book seeks to show that seemingly different political economies actually share surprising similarities, and problems. While Going Private in China sheds new light on China’s corporate restructuring, it also offers new perspec-tives on how we think about the process of institutional change.

Jean C. Oi is the William Haas Professor in Chinese Politics, a professor of political science, and a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) all at Stanford University. She also directs the Stanford China Program.


Beyond North KoreaFuture Challenges to South Korea’s SecurityByung Kwan Kim, Gi-Wook Shin, and David Straub, eds.

Why should Americans worry about South Korean security?

The answer is clear: North Korea, and beyond. Most international attention to the North Korea problem has focused on U.S. policy, but South Korea’s long-term role may in fact be more important. South Korea’s security is vital to peace and stability, not only in Northeast Asia but also the wider world.

Written by eminent scholars, practi-tioners, and policymakers with extensive on-the-ground experience, Beyond North Korea assesses the varied contexts—regional and global, traditional and nontraditional—that underpin South Korea’s varied security challenges. What are South Korea’s military requirements? How do relations with its neighbors enhance or undermine its position? What economic, environmental, and demographic factors come into play? This book reveals that South Korea’s national security rests as much on sound domestic policy choices as on successful interstate relations.

General (ret.) Byung Kwan Kim is the former deputy commander of ROK-US Combined Forces Command and the Commander of Ground Component Command. Most recently, he served as the inaugural Koret Fellow at Shorenstein APARC, Stanford University. Gi-Wook Shin is the director of Shorenstein APARC; the founding director of the Korean Studies Program; senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies; and associate professor of sociology, all at Stanford University. David Straub is associate director of the Korean Studies Program at Shorenstein APARC. Straub retired from the U.S. Department of State in 2006 as a senior foreign service officer after a thirty-year career focused on Northeast Asian affairs.


Adapt, Fragment, TransformCorporate Restructuring and System Reform in South KoreaByung-Kook Kim, Eun Mee Kim, and Jean C. Oi, eds.

South Korea remains a puzzle for political economists. The country has experienced phenomenal economic growth since the 1960s, but its upward trajectory has

been repeatedly diverted by serious systemic crises, followed by spectacular recoveries. The recoveries are often the result of vigorous structural reforms that nonetheless retain many of South Korea’s traditional economic institutions. How, then, can South Korea suffer from persistent systemic instability and yet prove so resilient? What remains the same and what changes?

The contributors to this volume consider the South Korean economy in its larger political context. Moving beyond the easy dichotomies—equilib-rium vs. disequilibrium and stability vs. instability—they describe a complex and surprisingly robust economic and political system. Further, they argue that neither systemic challenges nor political pressures alone determine South Korea’s stability and capacity for change. Instead, it is distinct patterns of interaction that shape this system’s characteristics, devel-opment, and evolution.

Byung-Kook Kim directed the East Asia Institute (2002–08), before serving as the senior secretary for Foreign Affairs and National Security in the Lee Myung-bak presidency. Eun Mee Kim is professor at the Graduate School of International Studies and director of the Institute for Development and Human Security, Ewha Womans University in Seoul.

Aging AsiaThe Economic and Social Implications of Rapid Demographic Change in China, Japan, and South KoreaKaren Eggleston and Shripad Tuljapurkar, eds.

In the past fifty years, two factors have led to global population aging: a decline

in fertility to levels close to—or even below—replacement and a decline in mortality that has increased world average life expectancy by nearly 67 percent.

As the population skews toward fewer young people and more elderly who live longer postretirement lives, demographic changes—labor force participation, savings, economic growth, living arrange-

ments, marriage markets, and social policy—are transforming society in fundamental, irreversible ways.

Nowhere are these effects of aging and demographic change more acute—nor their long-term effects more potentially significant—than in the Asia-Pacific region. How will these developments impact the economies and social protection systems of Japan, South Korea, China, and, by extension, the United States?

To assess this question, Aging Asia showcases cutting-edge, policy-relevant research. The first section focuses on demo-graphic trends and their economic implications; the second section approaches select topics from a global comparative perspective, including social insurance financing, medical costs, and long-term care.

Prioritizing IntegrationThe Transatlantic Council on Migration

The global recession is having a major impact on immigrant integration.

With cuts in public budgets and a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment on both sides of the Atlantic, many governments have made short-term decisions responding to the economic crisis that will have long-term implications for immigrants and the broader society.

Prioritizing Integration assesses where immigrants have lost ground—using

evidence such as levels of funding for educational programs, employment rates, trends toward protectionism, public opinion, and levels of discrimination. It also considers how immigrants may have benefited from the crisis.

This systematic look at where and how immigrants have been affected by the recession concludes with a set of priori-ties for the integration-related investments national and local governments should be making in the coming decade. These investments are designed to boost economic competitiveness and improve social cohesion.

Managing the CrisisA Comparative Analysis of Economic Governance in 14 Countries

The global economic crisis has affected all major economies, even

those with a sound financial sector and macroeconomic stability. While many analyses have been focused on stabilization and stimulus programs, the underlying quality of political decisionmaking and economic governance has yet to receive thorough attention.

This study offers 14 detailed country reports, analyzing the crisis response in

advanced economies such as Germany, Sweden, the UK, and the United States, as well as in emerging markets in Brazil, Chile, China, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, and Turkey.

The major world economies pursued different paths in terms of political priorities, strategic planning, speed and effectiveness in implementation, communication, and consultation. Accordingly, the effects of their crisis management differ greatly. By offer-ing a critical comparative assessment of the various strategies employed and the different governance qualities exhibited, using a standardized set of criteria, this survey contributes to improving political learning and fostering the exchange of good practice.

Contributors include Sabine Donner, senior project manager; Hauke Hartmann, senior project manager; and Andrea Kuhn, project manager, all with Bertelsmann Stiftung.

Extending Social Security to AllA Guide through Challenges and Options

Social security represents an investment in a nation’s human

infrastructure. This book outlines basic concepts such as the social protection floor and the social security staircase, analyzes the affordability of various approaches, and examines the results of practices around the world, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

The second part of Extending Social Security to All weighs the pros and cons of conditional cash transfers. Based on a wealth of statistics, it argues that effective social transfer programs not only alleviate poverty but also improve labor market participation, productivity, nutrition, health care, education, con-sumption, and social inclusion. The book demonstrates that such investment can benefit poorer countries as well as richer ones. Even in times of tightened budgets and global economic crisis, the dividends are well worth the expenditure.

The Employment Relationship A Comparative OverviewGiuseppe Casale

Changes in the world of work have modified traditional notions of the employment relationship. These changes

shape the scope of protection and application of labor legislation and automatically affect the way labor law is implemented. The Employment Relationship provides cross-national analysis of this important phenomenon.

It has become increasingly difficult to determine who is or is not in a legally defined employment relationship—and therefore subject to certain regulations. At the same time, globalization has increased the need for employee protection against the circumvention of national labor legislation by contractual and other legal arrangements. This book examines how labor legisla-tion applies to the realm of the employment relationship. It discusses terms, notions, definitions, laws, and practices in the various regions of the world.

Trade and Employment in the Global CrisisMarion Jansen and Erik von Uexkull

In many low- and middle-income countries, the global financial crisis has led to significant losses of jobs and pressures

on real wages. Based on the findings of ILO-sponsored country studies of employment impacts, this book analyzes how cross-border trade has acted as a transmission channel, spreading the crisis to developing states.

Key topics covered include how changes in trade flows affect the labor market, the role of price volatility and demand shocks in the recent crisis, and how export concentration makes coun-tries more vulnerable. The book also takes an in-depth look at the strategies households have developed to cope with the crisis and on the effects of the crisis on inequality and bargain-ing power. Finally, the study reviews how policy instruments designed to protect workers have fared and makes recommenda-tions for responses to future crises.

Offshoring and Working Conditions in Remote WorkJon Messenger and Naj Ghosheh, eds.

Advances in information and communication technologies, combined with organizations seeking to reduce costs,

have led to a dramatic growth in service sector offshoring and outsourcing, most notably to developing countries such as India. Despite burgeoning literature on this phenomenon, however, little attention has been paid to the working and employment conditions that exist in the growing number of workplaces providing business-process outsourcing and IT-enabled services in developing countries.

This book examines and provides a historical context for the development of the business-process outsourcing industry, based on case study analysis of working conditions in four countries where this industry is large or growing—Argentina, Brazil, India, and the Philippines. The contributors offer policy advice on how the growth of “good quality” jobs can be promoted as these industries grow and mature around the world.

Money, Asset Prices and MemoryPascal Blanqué

In this book, prominent economic researcher Pascal Blanqué offers his theory on the effect of memory on the economic

cycle and provides an analysis of stock market phenomena and their dynamics.

Placing time at the heart of the global dynamic of the finan-cial sphere, the first part of the book provides keys to interpret the current economic system and its imbalances. Blanqué believes that everything economic-related is reducible to a time differential. The various states of global economic balance, as well as the economic dynamics that determine that balance, are based on the value given to time, in particular, to memory and forgetfulness. This assigned value governs preferences and substitutions between goods, services, and financial assets; steers the monetary dynamics of liquidity; and ultimately determines prices and activity.

In the second part of the book, Blanqué gives his insider’s view on how the stock market really works. He describes a psychological space-time reference frame that is unique to the stock market universe. Within this reference frame, memory and forgetfulness play a major role in determining market activity and the volatility of prices.

Blanqué concludes by expressing his concern that the resources of the financial industry are too often dedicated solely to monitoring the immediate moment in time when trading goods and assets and are not sufficiently oriented toward an understanding of the broader economic issues at stake.

Pascal Blanqué is chief investment officer and head of institutional business for Credit Agricole, a major international asset manage-ment company. He formerly served as chief economist and head of research of a large international banking group.

The Brown Center Report on American Education 2009How Well Are American Students Learning?Tom Loveless

The Brown Center Report on American Education provides an accurate, nonpartisan, data-driven account of American

elementary and secondary education. Its purpose is four-fold: to determine the direction of achievement in U.S. public schools; to gauge the significance of changes; to uncover the policies and practices influencing the direction of student achievement; and finally, to figure out whether the public is getting the full story on student learning.

This year’s report tackles perennial questions of how to interpret trends in test scores, the distribution of achievement, school turnarounds, and charter schools. It examines national test data going back to 1971 from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, compares the 1989 and 2009 test scores of more than 1,000 schools, and compares the test scores of con-version charter schools from 1986 to those from 2008.
